[solved]Upgrading editor to the latest version - how ?

[solved]

Hi

I have recently purchased Warcraft 3 + the Frozen Throne expansion and can see that my editor is version 1.21b (6052).

I done a bit of searching for instruction about how to upgrade, both inhere and on the net in general, however, so far I haven't be successful so:

How do I upgrade the editor to the latest version ?

Thank you in advance.

EDIT:

To patch both Reign of Chaos and the Frozen Throne in one go I ran Reign of Chaos as administrator (you can do this by right-click on the game's icon and select Run As Administrator in the context menu)

The editor is always the same version. Wc3 isn't. To upgrade to 1.26a download both the patch zip file and the switcher, and then patch the game (I hope you know how)

I guess you should update your Frozen Throne. You can find the patch around the internet. I don't remember what's the latest though, was it 1.26a or what.

Hi

Thank you for your replies.

I was searching through battle.net and found a page where there were a patch for both Reign of Chaos and the Frozen Throne, so far so good, however, I'm a little confused as to whether or not I have to install both the patches as the Frozen Throne (57mb) is huge in comparison to Reign of Chaos (18mb).

I suspect that the Frozen Throne patch might include Reign of Chaos patch though it didn't say anything about this on the battle.net page.

I have submitted a support ticket, so I'm hopefully a bit more wise in a few days.

Editor version is not important. Your warcraft III version is.
1.26a patch

If you have the legit warcraft 3 copy, you can just click on "Battle.net" when you launch the game and it will automatically update for you.

If you're not using a genuine copy, I'm not sure if Blizzard will aid you with that.

I'm using a genuine copy of the game.

I have also tried to click on the battle.net icon in the game menu, however, I get some sort of error message saying that there was an error writing to my HDD while trying to download a file from battle.net - and then the possible cause: my HDD is full - which it isn't !

I don't know how to solve this problem...

Hi

I have heard from the support at battle.net and they told me to install the Reign of Chaos before installing the Frozen throne patch as the latter overwrites some files.

I have tried to install the Reign of Chaos patch, but get an error saying something about a checksum which doesn't match and that this problem usually can be corrected by installing the game and patch it again.

The problem occurred in:

File name: Abilities\Spells\Items\Alsp\SpeedTarget.mdx

So, I'll guess that I have to do that
